Best of Both Worlds

We enjoyed a wonderful night at the River Spring Lodge. Carolyn was a delight and very accommodating during our stay. The location was easy to get to between Chautauqua and Buffalo and the surroundings were tranquil. The lodge was extremely clean (first thing we look for), tastefully decorated, and a unique combination between a bed & breakfast, inn/lodge, and a boutique hotel. Although we were there as a quick couple's get-away, it could be perfect location for a girls' get-away, a work retreat, sportmen's retreat, planned event such as murder mystery, destination wedding, etc. because it has a lot of possibilities. The dining area, opened up to the patio which is overlooking the pond. It could accommodate couples looking for privacy but is large enough for bigger groups, musicians to perform, etc. The Lodge offers dinner prepared by Chef Dave, which we did not partake in this time but plan on including next time because everything looked and sounded delicious. If in the area, dining with reservations is an option open to those who are not staying at the Lodge as well. We both enjoyed the complimentary, freshly-prepared breakfast the next morning, which was just perfect for us. We both loved the raspberry soup with granola! We stayed in the Red Maple Suite, which was a very spacious corner suite with a small balcony overlooking the pond. The King bed was made for Goldilocks because it was "just right" without being too soft or too firm with pillows and bedding to match. The desk in the room had USB ports for charging our phones. The bathroom had lovely his/her sinks, corner tile shower with great water pressure and temperature (always something we look for) along with a heated tile floor and tub-we didn't use either. The pictures do not do justice to just how nice the Lodge is both inside and out. We are already planning a trip in the fall to enjoy the fall foliage of the area while indulging ourselves at the Lodge.

We had way too short amount of time to spend here. I will be making a point to go back and stay longer. What a beautiful place and wonderful hosts.

Will Go Back!

Chef Dave and Carolyn Hamer have created a genuinely warm and peaceful environment. The room was lovely with a wonderfully comfortable bed. The unique bathroom with heated floors were especially nice. Our dinner was not only beautifully presented but absolutely delicious. The four course breakfast was equally impressive! They were also accommodating to my special dietary needs which was greatly appreciated. We highly recommend this beautiful tranquil place. Can't wait to come back.

It was a perfect place for a quiet birthday getaway. The room was beautiful and the dinner was amazing. No need to rush through eating. We savored every bite of the delicious dinner. The owners make a beautiful team with each of them bringing their expertise. We went in the winter, but I bet the grounds are even better in the summer. We may need to make a return visit.

Great place
